Javascript links in the menu

[Dewang]

Hi,
I am trying to add "javascript:" links to my menu items. The link works fine - my function is called. The function opens a popup window.

However in the main window where my menu is defined, I get a blank page with [Object] written. I made my function return false after opening the popup, but that just makes the page dispaly 'false' instead of [Object].

Is there any way to stop the page from trying to load that blank page and just call the javascript function?

Snippet of my MENU_ITEMS:

read that, and use the target tag to open a new window

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. My main problem is not of the target. I have read the docs, and would have used target=_blank if that was what I needed.

I need to call a Javascript function when a menu item is clicked - window.open is just one example. window.open does provides a lot more functionality than specifying a target.

But my main requirement is to be able to call a javascript function. As per the docs -
"url" URI value for HREF attribute of A tag for menu item. Is not required. May contains javascript function calls with prefix "javascript:"

Now this works. But like I mentioned, the problem is that sets the content of the page that has the menu to an empty page with just [object] or false, depending on whether or not I make my function return false.

Hoping for a solution...

I run a number of functions in my IE only app (i.e. modalDialog(), newWindow(), setCookie(), etc) when executing links. Where would I put the called function to have it accessable by the menu? I a ver at the top of page, and know it's set because I confirmed w/ alart, but when I execute the link it comes up as "undefined".

Thanks, Walt

Add "void( )" around the javascript function call. For example:

{'code':'Menu item', 'url':"javascript:void(window.open('test.html', 'window1', 'width=400,height=300'))", ...
